If it cranks but doesn't catch it's probably not the starter. You can pull the coil and the igniter and have them tested at most auto parts retailers, but in general, it's a process of elimination. When you find a part that works, you go on to the next possibility. If it is cranking and not starting, pull 1 spark plug wire and connect it to a spare sparkplug. Lay the sparkplug on a metal part of the engine and crank the engine to see if you are getting a good, strong spark. If you're getting a spark, check the fuel pressure. Don't just assume that if it's not starting that there's something wrong with the ignition.
